Queen of Babble

Meg Cabot did it again!

I have always loved Meg Cabot and her chic-lit, young adult novels. And recently I have just finished another Meg Cabot creation. Its been years since I first saw Queen of Babble in bookstores and it is only a month ago when I bought a copy. Although there are two more installments in this series (or a trilogy; I'm not sure), I opted to buy only the first installment and see if I like the story or not. I haven't seen a mass paperback copy of these books ever since I found out about this series so I just jumped to the opportunity when I saw a copy at Booksale.

  
I intended to read Queen of Babble in-between "heavy" books so as to "cleanse the palate", and cleanse it did. Of all the chic-lit novels I have read, I think I love the Meg Cabot ones the most. It is as if I told Cabot how to tickle my attention, and then arouse it more until I cannot put her novels down anymore. She never fails to entertain me and keep me holding on to her words. Queen of Babble was such a fun read that I managed to finish it within 24 hours in two sittings. I love the storyline, the fun, the characters, especially Lizzie since she is so lively, bubbly, jolly person. It is like reading a young adult novel, high school or college students venturing into yet another adventure called Life, but it is not. In fact, I do not think the last scene in the cask room was necessary. Or maybe it was not yet due to happen, at least not in the first installment. I just thought that it was too soon, and kind of rushed. Oh well, it did not make any difference since I am nevertheless still giddy to get my paws on the second and third installments of this Cabot series.
